Plasma Speaker

[audioguru]

I played with high voltage vacuum tubes for my Hi-fi system a long time ago before transistor amplifiers were available. The vacuum tubes wore out in one or two months and needed replacement for low distortion. The vacuum tubes amplifier provided no damping of the resonances of the speakers due to the output transformer. The output transformers were not good.

Are you using a car ignition coil to drive your plazma tweeters? It is not made for hi-fi audio.

i was wondering if this is a decent plasma speaker schem 555 Audio modulated flyback | Kaizer Power Electronics . and if anyone can tell me ways to protect my ic and the max current i can use for this

People with tin ears don't use a tweeter because they do not care about how music sounds. The plazma speaker is a high frequency tweeter. If a car ignition coil is used then it will sound like a distorted whistle.

I thought the whole point of the High Voltage section was just for making unique and interesting high voltage based stuff.

I didn't know that all high voltage projects need to be high fidelity devices for them to be acceptable projects for others to build.

You are right we need more high voltage material, other than Tesla Coils and Plasma Speakers
